Final answer:

In Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World, John likens Lenina to a goddess.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World, John likens Lenina to a) a goddess. This comparison is made in Chapter 7, when John first meets Lenina and is overwhelmed by her beauty. He sees her as divine and worships her, similar to how the narrator in Edgar Allan Poe's poem 'The Raven' refers to Lenore as the 'sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore.'
